Accounts
To use our Services, the User is required to create a user account by accepting these Terms, entering certain personal details, and by setting a password of their choice in a registration form provided by aptLearn Limited online (“User Account”). After submitting the completed registration form, the User will receive a confirmation email from aptLearn Limited allowing the User to activate the User Account. Through the creation of the User Account, a binding contract is concluded between the User and aptLearn Limited, entitling the User to use Free Services.
When setting up and maintaining your account, you must provide and continue to provide accurate and complete information, including a valid email address. You have complete responsibility for your account and everything that happens on your account, including for any harm or damage (to us or anyone else) caused by someone using your account without your permission. This means you need to be careful with your password. You may not transfer your account to someone else or use someone else’s account. If you contact us to request access to an account, we will not grant you such access unless you can provide us with the information that we need to prove you are the owner of that account. In the event of the death of a user, the account of that user will be closed.
You may not share your account login credentials with anyone else. You are responsible for what happens with your account and aptLearn Limited will not intervene in disputes between students or instructors who have shared account login credentials. You must notify us immediately upon learning that someone else may be using your account without your permission (or if you suspect any other breach of security) by contacting our Support Team. We may request some information from you to confirm that you are indeed the owner of your account.
Students and instructors must be at least 18 years of age to create an account on the website and use the Services. If you are younger than 18 but above the required age for consent to use online services where you live, you may not set up an account, but we encourage you to invite a parent or guardian to open an account and help you access content that is appropriate for you. If you are below this age of consent to use online services, you may not create an account on the website. If we discover that you have created an account that violates these rules, we will terminate your account. Under our Instructor Terms, you may be requested to verify your identity before you are authorized to submit content for publication on aptLearn Limited.
You can terminate your account at any time by following the steps here. Check our Privacy Policy to see what happens when you terminate your account.
aptLearn Account Inactivity Policy
Effective 08/12/2023
1. Introduction
At aptLearn, we are committed to providing our students with the best learning experience while ensuring the responsible management of our resources and data. This Account Inactivity Policy outlines our approach to managing student accounts that have become inactive over a significant period.
2. Accounts without Paid Course Enrollment
2.1 Inactivity Threshold: A student account is classified as ‘inactive’ if the student fails to log in or engage in any account activity, such as enrolling in new courses or refreshing existing courses, for a continuous period of six (6) months.
2.2 Reminder Notifications: Once an account is marked as inactive, aptLearn will issue reminder notifications sparingly over the subsequent six (6) months, encouraging the student to re-engage with their account.
2.3 Account Deletion: If there is no account activity for twelve (12) months, the student’s account and all associated data will be permanently deleted. This includes but is not limited to, digital signatures for certifications, earned certifications, personal bank details for automatic payments, course enrollments, and any other details linked to their student ID.
2.4 Liability and Irreversibility: It is important to note that once an account is deleted under this policy, the action is irreversible. aptLearn will not be liable for any loss of data or certifications as a result of account deletion.
3. Accounts with Paid Course Enrollment
3.1 Extended Inactivity Period: For students who have purchased at least one paid course, the account will be classified as ‘inactive’ after eighteen (18) months of no login or account activity.
3.2 Reactivation: Inactive accounts in this category can be easily reactivated by logging in again.
3.3 Extended Deletion Threshold: If a student with paid course enrollments remains inactive for five (5) years, their account, along with all associated data, will be permanently deleted. This includes purchases, course enrollments, certifications, and any other linked data.
4. Policy Adjustments
aptLearn reserves the right to adjust or amend this Account Inactivity Policy at any time. All changes will be communicated to our students via their registered email addresses and updated on our platform.
